Academic Probation

Students will be placed on Academic Probation when the semester GPA falls below 2.0 for two (2) consecutive semesters.

Students placed on Academic Probation will be required to:

  1. Meet with an academic advisor to develop an improvement plan

  2. Register for no more than 13 credits. Students are limited to 13 total credits taken at Mount Saint Mary College and other institutions. Students on Academic Warning will not be allowed to transfer credits to the Mount to a total of greater than 13 total credits for the semester they are on Academic Warning without permission from the Academic Standards Committee.

  3. Earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 EACH semester until the student's cumulative GPA is at or above 2.0. Until the cumulative GPA is above 2.0, the student is considered to be on Academic Probation, with the understanding that if the student's cumulative GPA is below 2.0 for two semesters after the probationary semester, the student will receive an Academic Dismissal. 
  4. Athletes who are on Academic Probation are not allowed to compete.
  5. Students on Academic Probation are strongly urged to consult with the College's Financial Aid office regarding any potential impact probationary status may have on financial aid eligibility.
